That’s it. Reboot your server with new kernel. Now you can use synthetic ethernet and 4 vCPU.
Please careful to (full path!) lines, I trim full paths. You should copy full paths from your existing menu.lst source.

Thank you! How were you able to compile this kernel? Please share your experience! I tried to compile Linux Integration Services v2.1 under opensuse 11.3 , but nothing happened: (

Hi Vladimir,
You don’t need to install LIC on it. Because Kernel 2.6.36 already comes with Hyper-V LIC. Just you need to apply this custom kernel. I mean you shouldn’t re-compile LIC on this custom kernel.

Hi Yusuf,
that is, I should compile a kernel from the standard sources, enabling it to support hyper-v, I understand you correctly?

Oh, sorry, I wrote “you should recompile LIC” instead of “you shouldn’t”..

Yes, They added Hyper-V IC directly to the new kernel sources, which are 2.6.36 and later. So logically, you don’t need to install Hyper-V LIC on a 2.6.36 kernel, because it has already that drivers.

For example, if you try Ubuntu 10.10, you see it comes with Hyper-V drivers because it uses kernel 2.6.3X That means, a year later, Hyper-V will support lots of Linux distributions because They will come with >2.6.36 kernel.
